Storm Damage Repair Scaffolding in Herne Bay
When a storm damages a property in Herne Bay, the first job is stopping further damage. We mobilise same-day, get a safe access scaffold in place, and if the roof has gone we'll fit a temporary roof over the top so the interior stays dry. Most of the Herne Bay work sits inside CT6. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via A299 (Thanet Way), about 8 miles past Canterbury. Exposed-site scaffolds, more frequent ties and corrosion-resistant fittings are normal here. We're regularly on sites around Altira business park. Building stock around Herne Bay is mostly Victorian terrace and seafront apartment block, which shapes how a scaffold has to go up. The nearest neighbouring towns to Herne Bay are Whitstable and Canterbury — handy if a job needs splitting across sites. For emergency scaffold work specifically in Herne Bay: made safe today. Canterbury City Council runs the local authority side, including any pavement licences.
